Thanks Kevin. I really want some type of pygmy angelfish, but I don't want anything that eats sponge, so, rock and a hard place…

Those pike blennies are cool. I've actually tried them, without success. From my brief experience, I'd say they are best kept in a slow-moving species tank. Similar to a mandarin, it is a slow feeder, but not as picky food-wise. With that big mouth, they can eat bigger stuff, like mysis.

If I ever did a species tank, they'd be on my list!
